SINGERS

ELISA JAMES

Elisa James

Elisa has been performing all over the world for the past three years, adding to her collection of "embarrassing moments", for her similarly titled show, in Europe, Asia, Tahiti, Australia, and the Mediterranean.

Originally an Australian pop singer, her voice has mellowed and become svelte with time and experience, enabling her to draw upon a broad selection of vocal styles.

Shortly after marrying the Baron and being whisked away to Europe nearly ten years ago, Elisa was performing in venues throughout Holland, Belgium, France, England, Switzerland, Germany and Greece. She set up a singing school in Holland, in addition to orchestrating and performing in many showcases, workshops, and television documentaries.

Elisa has performed roles in popular Australian soap operas, Australian films, television commercials, and theatre productions, including a leading role with Mel Gibson.

She was accepted into a Fame-type school as a student in Sydney (Nicole Kidman was a fellow student), and was selected for a special “Talent Team”, which performed as a group for various functions, shopping centre shows, television productions and holiday cruise ships.

Over the ensuing years Elisa gained a reputation in Sydney as being not only a great singer, but a good mover on stage, and someone who could build a warm rapport with the audience. She soon caught the attention of major Record Labels in Sydney, and was asked to sing backing tracks for famous Aussie recording artists such as Melissa, The Robertson Brothers, Radio Freedom and Peter Andre. Elisa came to the attention of Dutch record company Arcade (CNR) and was booked as session and studio singer for Twenty 4 seven, a Dance act who have sold over 18 million CD’s worldwide.

Through performances in Athens Elisa became involved with Sensible Music Group (recording base of the Spice Girls, All Saints, East 17 and Gabrielle, amongst others), who happened to organize all party events for the Sultan of Brunei and Elisa was flown to London especially to attend many glittering parties.
